Hi, I'm Jilly
Ceremony & Celebration – Rooted in imagination and love, where stories grow and celebrations blossom.I am a fully qualified independent and heart-led celebrant offering ceremony services across Gloucestershire and ALL surrounding counties and beyond.
Each individual human is as unique as each tree that grows in the world. Each ceremony, whether a wedding, a vow renewal, a funeral, a naming or any life event you wish to celebrate can reflect this uniqueness. I am passionate about making life’s transitions truly celebratory and meaningful.
My role is to design a script that forms a sincere, special and memorable ceremony, shining a light on you and your love story, life story or new beginning. A heart-full celebration embracing personalised word-story, music, memories, rites and rituals and anything you wish to include, exclusively crafted for you.
I offer a free, no obligation consultation for any ceremony you are planning. Let’s talk!
What's my ceremony style?
I am uniquely me! I guess my style is understanding your style or vibe and fully immersing that into YOUR ceremony! That said, if any of the following resonates with you, there is a strong possibility I am the celebrant for you!
My heart is happy when I’m in nature or hanging out with my three ‘sunshine’ sons. I love good food, roller discos and being a celebrant! I feel very blessed to live near the woods in green, hilly Stroud. Did I mention I love trees?! Whilst I love walking in woodland and adore the natural world, I am equally happy lost in an art project or dancing with my friends.
Sustainability is a fundamental value both personally and professionally. My blog ‘Eco-friendly celebration planning’ may be helpful to you.
I am people-curious, an empath and love connecting with individuals from all walks of life, cultures & creeds.

The following quote reflects how I feel about offering a bespoke service and every ceremony I create “In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. And no two journeys along the same path are alike.” ~ Paul Coehlo
I am fully committed to inclusivity a core values are integrity, acceptance and creativity. I never conduct more than one ceremony per day, so I

Why choose Jilly for your wedding?
I will listen deeply to your wedding day hopes, wishes and ideas. I will design your ceremony and conduct it, instilling each moment of your story with warmth and delight. A sprinkling or large dose of humour or quirkiness is optional!
You will have unparalleled freedom in terms of time, ceremony content and location. Whether you envision your ceremony indoors or outdoors, at your favourite beauty spot, in a village hall with afternoon tea or wherever you choose. Every element of your day can reflect who you truly are. Your day, your way, your ceremony is for you both and bespoke design will be at the heart of it.
Naming Ceremonies
I offer personalised and inclusive naming ceremonies celebrating new life. The loving acknowledgment and celebration of name giving through ceremony. A naming ceremony isn’t exclusive to children though, children of any age can experience the ritual of being named. Equally, adults who may have changed their first name or surname post-divorce, gender transition or for any other personal or spiritual reason may wish to celebrate this.
Other lovely examples are the celebration of adopted children joining a family or the marker of shared children being embraced in a blended family. It’s a special occasion, and some may say, a rite of passage.
The meaning of a name can be at the heart of the naming ceremony design. Focusing the time to recognise someones place in the world. Their individual name, personality and identity, whilst also honouring the love, values, hopes and dreams of the family.

Funerals
Honouring, commemorating and celebrating someones life is a precious process. A celebrant-led funeral with me offers the opportunity for a unique ceremony, truly reflecting one’s life in all its fullness. My funeral celebrant services ensure that the ceremony is in calm, caring, creative and compassionate hands.
The preparations and planning for a funeral can be challenging at such an emotional time. I will spend time gently getting to know you and understanding all about your loved one. Respecting this is a sensitive time and going at your pace. With each life being so different, each funeral will reflect this and I will actively encourage ideas from families and friends to create a ceremony that offers comfort and meaning.
